They all tuckered out pretty fast, so young and overwhelmed by too much attention.

Some people liked the skinny ones with long legs and short fur.

I came back to this puppy several times. A real people puppy who loved to cuddle.

He really bonded with this woman and she with him! He was happy to cuddle and lick her chin. She could hardly let go of him long enough for her roommate to cuddle him.

He was definitely a German Shepherd mix and she asked me many questions about the three German Shepherds I have had. I was honest and told her they are smart, need jobs and attention, lots of training, will get huge, etc. The more we talked the more I knew she was up to the challenge and intrigued.

This is in response to a challenge from (here is his blog site) Nagrij for a 5 minute story. Nagrij writes a 5 minute story every Tuesday. This month’s challenge is horror and I accept the challenge. Here is Nagrij’s story this week: https://nagrij.wordpress.com/2016/10/04/tuesdays-tale-1042016/

Here you go Nagrij:

Racing down the hall she ran smack into the icy place. The home of the foul entity that she now lived with. When she moved in she had no idea of the evilness that had occurred here over the years. She had a feeling that even with all she was able to discover she still did not know everything.

Henry, her German Shepherd dog for seven years, was right behind her. His intense yowl raised the hair on the back of her neck. As she turned around she saw he was looking behind them, at something unseen but clearly approaching with a cold malevolence.

Thinking to gain some strength from Henry’s presence she hugged him tightly and looked between his ears down the hall. Somehow she now saw what Henry was able to see and knew she was in Hell.

She lunged again and again. Teeth bared, fierce snarling, stabbing me hard enough with her muzzle I would have fallen if not for the wall to my back.

Pissing off a trained Police Dog. Not my smartest achievement. But I was smart enough not to run or move, she’d be on me in a second.

She was becoming more agitated, foaming at the mouth, and I knew I had to do something fast. Shoving my prized Prada handbag into her face she clamped down on it. Diving into her crate I felt the door hit me in the rear as she flew after me.

My friend PJ needs your help. PJ is a certified therapy dog. She is a volunteer with the Canine Airport Therapy Squad (CATS for short), see here for more informationDIA CATS Squad. She is also a volunteer working with people recovering from strokes and brain injuries.

She recently tore her crutiate ligament and needs surgery to repair this injury to continue her therapy work.

Please check out her Go Fund Me page herePJ Go Fund Me page and if you can help any donation would be appreciated. $1.00 or $2.00 or any amount you can donate will help PJ continue her volunteer work.

PJ is a rescue dog and this is part of what she does to show her appreciation for being rescued. She pays back her good fortune at finding her forever home by helping others where she can. Won’t you help PJ continue her dream?

This year I was pleased to see EnduraPet, my favorite dog supplement provider, had returned to the 2016 Denver Dog Show.

I have been using EnduraPet for about six years now and have never been disappointed with results.

Here is a post I did about how their Mobility Plus+ changed my ageing German Shepherd’s life Mobility Plus+

The quality of their products continues to impress me. I have a rescue dog suffering from Addison’s Disease. He is quite nervous during stormy weather such as thunder and extreme wind. He is also no so happy with fireworks. I have been using the Calming Plus+ product for about three years and find it does just that, calms poor Roscoe’s nerves. The wind, thunder and loud fireworks still bother him; but, with the help of Calming Plus+, he is able to settle down and wait out the event.
